    Is this a good deal? (updated)

    AZ Dot does have smog inspections, in fact the vehicle last passed emissions inspections about a year ago.

    ^ They don't use a code reader when you go in for servicing, right? &nbsp;Usually code readers are used if a check engine light is going on.<br><br>Also, I've read some bad reviews on the Champion 1 piece spark plugs, people claiming that it failed on them, one said 5,000 miles after.

    Is this a good deal? (updated)

    Well, I've seen the van twice now and talked to the owner more about the vehicle. &nbsp;I have to have it inspected by a mechanic, but first, what do you think about the deal so far:<br><br>2000 Ford E-150 conversion van (with high top), 168,000 miles, with a remanufactured engine with 91,000...

    ^ I've been seeing this website and forum for more than a year, and I haven't seen it before, so that's why I posted.

    How do you, ahem, do no. 2 in a standard height van?

    I've tried a few ways to stand up in one position for a period of a few minutes as if I was in a regular van, at first it was ok but within a few minutes I had serious back pain. &nbsp;Again, does anyone have any tips or is this too uncomfortable to talk about?

    Small RV inspiration for cardwelling

    Someone posted this in another forum and I'm reposting it here to give some help in ideas in cardwelling. &nbsp;This though is more helpful for vehicles that have at least 6 feet of unobstructed interior space<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="/file?id=1475406" class="bbc_img">

    Can the paint on this van be restored?

    BTW, this is how a well kept exterior on a green van should look:<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/19312492.jpg" class="bbc_img"><br><br>And this is a '97 van (compared to the van I've been showing which is a 2000 van.)

    How do you, ahem, do no. 2 in a standard height van?

    This forum exists so you asked for it. &nbsp;One of the reasons I'm seeking a high top van is because I'm afraid that, ahem, cleaning myself, will give me back or knee pain eventually when normally I would fully stand up. &nbsp;Does anyone have any tips? &nbsp;Thanks.

    Can the paint on this van be restored?

    The question here is: &nbsp;Can a restore to an "adequately looking vehicle" be done economically? &nbsp;This is of course especially for stealth reasons.<br><br>Also, anyone here have any experience getting a paint job done on a vehicle for a low price?

    Can the paint on this van be restored?

    BTW, could the hood be separately repainted itself? &nbsp;It looks like too much damage.<br><br>Anyway, all of this has me wondering if the condition of the van, despite the reassurances and the service records by the seller as to its mechanical condition, is enough to just walk away from it.

    Can the paint on this van be restored?

    BTW, what are those spots on the fiberglass top? &nbsp;Is the paint gone from those areas with spots? &nbsp;(not the white ones, the yellowish green ones.) &nbsp;Can they be restored? &nbsp; Also, must a separate product be used for the fiberglass? &nbsp;Thanks

    Can the paint on this van be restored?

    I'm wondering if the paint on this van can be restored (without having to sand down and repaint), thanks.<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/DaveofCali/ford%20e-150%20pictures/2013-02-17121831.jpg" class="bbc_img"><br><br><img rel="lightbox"...

    Is this a good deal?

    BTW, I went and saw the van, the paint on the front hood and on the high top was too worn looking, there was a lot of peeling paint on the lowerside area of the vehicle, the vehicle had a general "worn" impression both outside and somewhat inside (leatherlike seats already cracking, a lot of...

    How much would you pay for a van?

    How much would you be willing to pay for a van? &nbsp;For ones who already have a van, assume that you had to buy another van for whatever reason, how much would you be willing to pay?

    Is this a good deal?

    ^ I'm considering a conversion van to avoid possible knee and back issues, but I must say one concern I have about conversion vans is questionable or unknown reliability of the front seats (due to the front seats being aftermarket seats that may not have been crash tested), which can lead to...
